Loveless Marriage

Chapter 19  What Happened on Earth?

If he hadn’t seen Isabella’s shoes at the entrance hall, Christian would have thought that he went to the

wrong door.

"Mr. Miller." Luke reached out his hand and smiled friendly, "We’ve met at the Yue Hotel before. I'm

Luke. Isabella's friend."

Christian suddenly remembered what happened in Yue, where he saw Luke and Isabella chat

intimately with each other, looking like more than just friends.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Christian still shook hands with Luke out of politeness, "I’m Christian."

When he saw the little girl on sofa, Christian subconsciously looked towards Luke, thinking she should

be his daughter. Inexplicably, he felt a bit glad.

Diana and Isabella were busy in the kitchen. Christian walked over, “Do you need any help?”

"No, you're the guest. Make yourself at home."

Seeing Isabella completely ignore him, and Christian frowned.

He felt that this meal shouldn’t be that simple.

Soon, a sumptuous table of dishes was prepared.

Diana kept talking with Luke. From her, Christian knew that Luke was once a student of Mr. Jones and

he was divorced recently.

It seemed that Diana like Luke a lot, as she scoops food into Luke's bowl from time to time, without

even looking at Christian. The whole atmosphere wasn't good, but not as silent as before.

Isabella did not say a word until she was done eating.

She placed the divorce settlement on table, then said calmly: "Christian, I hope you can sign on it."

"Haven’t we agreed that we’ll talk about this later?" Christian knew that the dinner wasn’t that simple, Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

but he just didn’t expect this. "Can you tell me why you left the ring in my office?"

When he went back to his office, Isabella had already gone for a long time. Lexie pointed to the ring

and said perplexedly: "Christ, I said that I'll show Miss Isabella around, but she seemed not be very

happy. She then took off her ring and left. “

He had just been on business trip for a week without doing anything wrong. Why did she take off her

ring so decisively?

What happened on earth?

"You bought that ring, and I won’t need it if we get divorce." Isabella didn't want to call out his lies, as

they may only make everyone feel embarrassed, "For the sake of our three-year marriage, I hope that

you can sign it."

Christian's throat was burning, yet he still refused to give up: "Why? You just said that it’s been three

years."

He thought that after four years, they would peacefully divorce. But Isabella's decision made him so

unprepared that he felt unwilling to accept this.

However, he couldn't tell the reason.

"Because I had fallen for someone else." Isabella glanced at Luke, and with a gaze that was tender as

water. She said: "He is willing to marry me without any premarital contract.

Seeing her actions, Christian understood everything. Thinking that she had pay back all the illicit

money and Mr. Jones received a sentence, his face darkened slightly.

"So, the two million was borrowed from him?"

Seeing Isabella didn’t say a word, Christian laughed out of anger: "Isabella, I have done many things

too, but I just didn’t tell you! I only wanted you to ask me by your own. Now you’re telling me that you

borrowed money from an outsider? You’re really impressive!"

Luke moved in front of Isabella in time, afraid that Christian may hurt her out of anger.

"Mr. Miller, she has already said all her wants. I want you to respect her and part amicably.

Christian fiercely stared at Isabella who is behind Luke.

The divorce settlement in his hand was crushed into a ball, then spread out unwillingly and laid out on

the coffee table.
